(left) The robe worn by the Prophet Ezekiel
is in contrast with those worn by others. It is larger,
the artist taking his idea from John Sargent’s painting
"Frieze
of Prophets” (1895). Ezekiel’s hands are
folded in petition, for he was an intercessor. Portrayed
is a
broken wheel as a symbol from his prophesies and a broken
pitcher.
(right) Apostle Thomas holds a staff with a carved top. It looks like a surveyor’s
staff. On his left arm he carries a carpenter’s square, indicative of
his occupation.
